However, I'd prefer red letterings and the face a bit more grim looking.<BR/><BR/>To me, the girl in #3 has a come-hither look which doesn't seem to suit the theme of the book. The gesture is fine but perhaps if the look is a little more "tortured" I guess it would be fine.<BR/><BR/>My two cents.<BR/><BR/>PebblesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29497206.post-12657321541567956202007-03-18T05:20:00.000-07:002007-03-18T05:20:00.000-07:00If cover One has one face looking down or AT the o...If cover One has one face looking down or AT the other face (to indicate some interaction), then, yes, I would pick it.<BR/><BR/>Cover Three comes across as a bit pose-y.<BR/><BR/>So my choice is Cover Two, although I'd like the words 'Dark City 2' to be in a lighter or brighter colour.<BR/><BR/>Great improvement on the old 'Dark City' cover, Kenny & Xeus.

Hi...I went over to Kenny's to have a clearer look. His pictures are bigger :)<BR/><BR/>No. 1 : Why are the twins looking upwards?

It's very enigmatic and mysterious. Though the sharp nose hints of Mat Salleh, but it could be Chinese, Malay or others. (Think Pan Asian in advertising).<BR/><BR/>But... I don't really like the colour of the title and byline. How about doing them in red (as per no. 1)?Lydia Tehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477088362900591404noreply@blogger.com
